Chapter 245 News From Holy Light Priest
"Finally reached level eight!"
Hearing the reminder of the Lord's Mark.
Fang Yuan showed a trace of joy on his face.
There are two watersheds in the Lord's strength.
One is from level five to six.
This is the watershed of leaving the novice Lord.
The other is from level seven to eight.
This is the watershed from the middle-level combat power to the high-level combat power.
The reason why the level eight Lord is a watershed.
In addition to the fact that the attributes of the level eight troops produced are much stronger than those of the level seven.
Another is the opening of the sub-city function!
As it is upgraded to level eight.
The function of sub-city construction will be opened in the Lord's Mark.
The Lord can build his own sub-city.
And the so-called sub-city, in short, is the second main city.
The sub-city has most of the functions of the main city.
For example, after building a sub-city, you can get new building positions, upgrade the sub-city, and increase the population.
And these are not the key.
The key is that some special buildings can be built in the sub-city.
For example, the hero altar!
Building a second hero altar means that more heroes can be recruited.
In other words, if an eighth-level lord has a branch city of the same level.
Then the number of heroes under his command is not eight.
But 16!
This is why the eighth-level lord is a watershed.
More heroes, more people, and a wider territory!
And all of this comes from the branch city!
However!
There are so many benefits of a branch city.
It is not easy to build it.
Most of the eighth-level lords cannot afford to build a branch city.
The reason is not complicated.
No money!
Fang Yuan read the relevant information when he was in Blue Star.
Build a first-level branch city.
First, you need to get a branch city building card.
This is the first step that stops most people.
Because the branch city building card is a low-quality building card, it is often difficult to obtain.
Even if you get the branch city building card.
The most important thing in the future is the low-quality hero altar building card.
Don't think that this building card can be automatically obtained when each lord enters the foggy world.
But if you want a second one.
Its difficulty is comparable to attacking a level 10 monster nest.
However, collecting these two building cards is just the first step.
The subsequent upgrade of the sub-city requires gold coins and resources that are far more than the hundreds or thousands of the main city.
Every upgrade of the sub-city requires tens of thousands!
Millions or tens of millions of gold coins and resources are common.
For most lords who do not have high-level resource lords.
This is a huge burden.
But if it is just resources and gold coins.
This is nothing.
For some large alliances, they have alliance resource lords.
The output will get the bonus of the alliance.
Grit your teeth and you can still supply it.
The key is that upgrading is not just these.
It also requires source crystals! ! ! !
The higher the quality of the sub-city!
The higher the source crystal required for the upgrade!
Building cards, gold coins, resources, high-quality source crystals.
This is enough to discourage most ordinary lords.
But!
Even if all these are prepared.
That is just the beginning.
To build a sub-city!
There is another key condition!
Beast nest!
Fang Yuan thought.
He called up the sub-city building panel on the building panel to check.
[Sub-city Building]: Allows the lord to build a sub-city. The sub-city has the same buildings and functions as the main city, but the construction of the sub-city needs to be located on the beast nest. The quality and level of the beast nest determine the quality of the sub-city and the highest level of the sub-city. Before building a sub-city, you need to use props similar to the fixed base magic crystal to stabilize the quality and level of the beast nest you have captured. At the same time, the higher the quality of the beast nest, the higher the basic attribute value of the sub-city, and the greater the potential.
"The biggest difference between the branch city and the main city."
"That is, it has to be built on the beast nest!"
"And it needs to use the fixed base magic crystal."
"At the same time, the level and quality of the beast nest determine the upper limit of the future growth of the branch city."
"And it is precisely this point that makes the branch city independent of the main city."
"It is not considered an auxiliary building of the main city."
"It means that the upgrade of the branch city does not need to be restricted by the level of the main city."
"This condition can be simply understood as that you can occupy a level 10 nest to build a branch city."
"Then even if the main city is not level 10."
"As long as you can meet the conditions for upgrading the branch city, you can smoothly upgrade the branch city to level 10."
"It will not be like other buildings, which must upgrade the main city before other buildings can continue to upgrade."
"Compared to the troublesome conditions for upgrading the main city, the conditions for upgrading the branch city are not that troublesome."
"As long as you have enough money!"
"It is not difficult to upgrade the branch city to level 10!!!"
"And this is the biggest feature of the branch city!!!"
"It is precisely this feature that makes a huge gap between the lords at the level 8 stage."
"From now on, the strength of the level 8 lord cannot be simply judged by the level of his main city."
"It also depends on whether he has a branch city and what the level of the branch city is!"
"If you encounter a lord with a level 10 branch city."
"The opponent can rely on the branch city to produce level 10 soldiers."
"Without restraint and the leadership of a powerful hero, the level 10 unit has absolute suppression power over low-level units."
"But there are few such lords after all!"
Although the conditions for upgrading the branch city are not as complicated as the main city.
But more resources are required.
In addition, it is even more troublesome to gather the preconditions.
This has formed a threshold invisibly.
And this threshold is money!
Only if you have enough money can you afford to build a branch city.
For the fog battlefield.
Most of the lords are poor.
Especially the current situation of the Blue Star Lords, who are suppressed by the monster lords in various areas and cannot move.
There is no way to expand outward, which means that the total amount of resources available to the Blue Star Lords is limited.
Under the pyramid social structure of humans, limited resources will only gather at the top.
In other words, the lords who can afford to build a branch city are probably only the top part of the top alliance.
As for other lords, I am afraid they dare not even think about the branch city.
This can be proved by the current situation in Gondor.
Facing the attack of the undead, from the first East Territory Alliance to the current South Territory.
They were almost wiped out by a golden undead.
In these large alliances, there is no shortage of high-level lords above level 8.
But their level 8 lords, let alone against bone dragons.
Even when facing the Black Warrior Legion, they are often defeated.
This point can prove my point.
I'm afraid these level 8 lords haven't built branch cities.
Even if they have built them, they won't be at the same level.
But Fang Yuan didn't have this worry.
He looked at the options for building branch cities.
"Although I don't have an alliance."
"I'm not an executive of the alliance."
"But I'm strong enough and my fists are strong enough!"
"Other lords can't expand outward, but I can!"
"Don't even think about raising a branch city!"
"I can raise two."
"And the lord mark shows!"
"Thanks to the golden amplification magic pattern, the number of branch cities I can build is not one, but two!"
"Two branch cities!!!"
"Naturally twice as strong as other lords!"
"This is the power of the golden magic pattern."
"One step ahead, every step ahead!"
But Fang Yuan thought immediately.
"If I want to build it myself, I must first gather all the building cards and prepare the resources."
"At the same time, I have to find a beast nest suitable for building a branch city."
"With my own strength, I have to build the best one."
"I definitely can't just build it casually."
"It must be at least orange level 10!"
"And this requires finding an orange level 10 beast nest first, and then gathering troops to attack."
"But I'm currently fighting the undead in the south."
"It won't be over in a short time."
Fang Yuan couldn't help but pat his head.
"There are priorities."
"Deal with the undead first."
"Then consider the branch city."
"Besides!"
"Maybe I can find a suitable point for building a branch city from the undead."
Thinking of this.
Fang Yuan suddenly had an idea in his mind.
"If there is a level 10 orange undead cemetery here~"
This idea only flashed.
Fang Yuan shook his head.
"No."
"Too risky."
"Not worth it."
"Unless it is absolutely safe, this cannot be done."
Fang Yuan then hid this thought.
He turned to look at other buildings on the building panel.
"The main city is already level eight."
"Now it's time to upgrade other buildings."
Fang Yuan looked at the resources and gold coins in the warehouse, the numbers were still huge.
Upgrading the current buildings to level eight is not a big problem.
But the mobilization order is a little insufficient.
"We are about to go to war with the undead!"
"Upgrade the military buildings first and produce level eight troops first!"
"As for other buildings, we can wait."
Fang Yuan's mind moved slightly, and he selected the military building.
Start the level upgrade.
"Ding, you use the mobilization order, the Holy Warrior Battalion is upgraded to level eight, you unlock the eighth-level Holy Warrior, and the attributes are greatly improved."
"Ding, you use the mobilization order, the Flame Wizard Battalion is upgraded to level eight, you unlock the eighth-level Flame Wizard, and the attributes are greatly improved."
After a series of prompts.
The main military buildings in the main city have been upgraded.
Fang Yuan then looked at the military territory outside the city, and was about to prepare for the upgrade.
Suddenly!
The Lord's Mark prompted a message to appear in the trade market.
"Boss, do you remember me?"
"I know where there is a Holy Light Priest!"
"There are not only Holy Light Priests, but also heroic Holy Light Bishops!!!"
